When I worked with SPARC Solaris (2.5 at that time) I could do the same I
can do with a Linux boot floppy (start rescue system, mount filesystem on
hard disk, change/delete root password, reboot the real system, bingo!)
with a Solaris CD.

By the way, my SuSE 6.0 has the lines
  # what to do in single-user mode
  ls:S:wait:/sbin/init.d/rc S
  ~~:S:respawn:/sbin/sulogin
in /etc/inittab, so that you have to give the root password for single
user mode, before you get a shell.
